Deer Dad Birthday Card

This is a cute birthday card I made my husband for his birthday. This is a 5.5" by 8.5" card. I used 4 different cricut cartridges. I also got the inspiration for this card from the fisherman's card on Cardz TV.

The first cartridge I used was the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. I cut the body out at 4" on blackout. Then I used the clothes from the fisherman on page 71. I cut the hat, hair, shirt, vest and waders all at 4". I inked around all the detail pieces with brown cat's eye chalk ink and inked the detail cuts on the hat and vest. I also used a stamp from Peachy Keen's Basic Paper Doll Face set.

I cut the deer from the Animal Kingdom cartridge. I cut it at 3" and inked around him with brown cat's eye ink. I also used a black pen and drew over the contour lines of the deer.

I used Plantin Schoolbook for the grass. It is on page 69. I cut it at 8.5" with the fit to length button on the expression. I inked the tips of the grass and the bottom edge with the brown ink also.

I used the Stand and Salute cartridge for the gun. I used the cross rifles found on page 49 and cut it at 1.5 inches. I then cut one of the rifles off so it was a single gun.

The sentiment I typed and printed off the computer.

I pop dotted the hunter, deer and sentiment.

I entered this card in Just Buggin' Challenge #17 and Cupcake Craft Challenge #71. Please go check out these awesome blogs.

Cheers Card

For this New Years card I used the Wild Card and Plantin Schoolbook cartridges.

Using the Wild Card cartridge I cut the base of the card on blackout on white card stock at 5 3/4.

Then I cut a regular base on white card stock at 5 3/4 " also. I then cut the label and white part on the top of the bottle from that base.

Then I took a piece of green paper and put it on the mat where the bottle was cut and cut the blackout base again just to get the bottle. I did the same for the cork with kraft card stock.

I then cut the Cheers (found on the same page as the bottle card) out on metallic silver paper at 5 3/4".

With the Platin School book cartridge I cut 6 stars out of metallic silver card stock at 3/4". I then attached them to three ornament hooks I had. Before I attached the top label on the bottle I used a glue dot to secure the stars.

I then cut a 3 3/4 x 5 3/4 piece of card stock for the background of the card.

This card has been entered into Cricut Cardz Challenge #6 and Paper Cutz Challenge #22.

Cup cake birthday card

For this yummy cupcake card I used the cupcake on the From My Kitchen cartridge and the scallop and circle are from the Mini Monogram cartridge.

I cut the stripe pattern paper for the cup cake base on blackout at 2". I also cut green cardstock at 2" on blackout and just cut off the leaf and stem part. Then I used light pink, dark pink, and red cardstock and cut on the layers function at 2 ". After putting all the layers together I used red stickles on the cherry, green stickles on the leaf and stem and pink stickles on the frosting.

I cut the scallop with purple textured cardstock at 3". I cut the circle from white cardstock at 2.5". I then inked both with purple ink. Then I attached the cupcake cake to the circle and the circle to the scallop.

I cut a 4.5" square from lavender cardstock and inked the edges with purple ink.

I used the same pattern paper from the cupcake base and cut a strip 1.5" x 4.5". I then attached a purple ribbon that I got from targets dollar bin to the strip of paper and attach that to the lavender cardstock.

I attached the scallop and then the whole piece to a white 5"x 5" card base.

The "Let the Good Times Roll" stamp is from Michael's dollar bin.

Jelly Jar-simple

Ok time has finally caught up to me and I'm way behind on gifts. Last night I made 13 jars of cranberry jelly for teacher gifts this year. (Making jelly is not as hard as some people think). Well since these need to be done tomorrow and I have housework to catch up on and a Christmas Party tonight I'm just keeping them simple.

I cut a 2.5 inch circle out of Christmas pattern paper using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge and put the circle under the jar lid.

Then I cut a tag using the tag feature on Joys of the Season cartridge. I used the star on page 53. I cut the tag at 2.25 inches using a burgundy cardstock. I also cut 2 base tags using a cream color cardstock.

The first base I rubbed on some boss gloss embossing ink from Stamp-n-Stuff on the first base tag then sprinkled on some jeweled gold embossing powder from Stamp-n-Stuff.

Then I layered the burgundy tag on the embossed tag and layered that on the 2nd foundation tag to hide the ink that leaks through the back. I don't have time to mess with it :)

I put an eyelet through the tag and just tied it on the jar using some ribbon that I found in my Christmas boxes. So 1 down 12 more to go :)

Quick Christmas Card

This was a quick Christmas Card. I used Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge.

I cut the card at 4.75 inches using green cardstock from recollections. (Michael's brand)

I then cut the frame at 4.75 using red cardstock from recollections.

I put red and white stripe paper behind the candy canes.

I used stickles for the garland on the tree and little rhinestones for the ornaments. I had a mini star punch and punched a star from yellow cardstock.

The Merry Christmas stamp is from inkadinkado.

Snowman card

Here is a card I made entirely from my scrapbox. (With the exception of the card base.) I used Doodlecharm to make this card.

I cut the snow globe on blackout for both pieces at 4"

I cut the snow man at 2". Base on black out. Layer on regular cut. I did not want to cut the whole snow man out in orange to get the tiny nose so I just colored it with a color pencil.

I cut the snowflakes at 1" and used my frosted lace stickles to give them some bling.

I inked with my cat's eye chalk ink.

Colored the face and buttons with a black pen.

Ribbon is from Walmart.

Stamp is from Michael's dollar bin.

Background paper is heidi grace designs: Frosted Blvd.

Fireplace card

This card I had a lot of fun making. I actually made 12 of them. I used 3 different cricut cartridges. This card was inspired by Bug Junkie's Twas the Night before Christmas Shape book. (If you ever wanted to try a shape book she has great videos on how to do it.)

From the Joys of the Season I used the following:

The fireplace which is cut at 2 1/4 inches.

The Christmas tree which is cut at 3 inches.

The presents which are cut at 3/4 inches.


From the Doodlecharm cartridge I used:

The stockings which are cut at 3/4 inches


From the Stand and Salute cartridge i used:

The frame which is cut at 1 3/4 inches.

I also printed from the computer the Merry Christmas and cut them in rectangles to fit the frame. (If I had a stamp small enough I would of used that.)

I inked around the edges of the fireplace, tree, presents, stockings and frame with cat eye's chalk ink. I used burgundy chalk to give dimension to the flame and the bows on the presents. Then I used stickles to make the garland on the tree and rhinestones from Michael's dollar bin for the ornaments.

Lastly I used foam tape to raise the fireplace so the fire sits inside and I pop dotted the presents.
